Library Catalog

Archives

In Evergreen’s Malcolm Stilson Archives and Special Collections you’ll find the history of the college, including digital copies of the original Cooper Point Journal and its predecessor, the Weakly Drag, the historical collection of Evergreen’s documents, works by authors from Evergreen, and more.

We are also a member institution of the Archives West which provides access to descriptions of primary sources in the Northwestern United States, including correspondence, diaries, and photographs. Digital reproductions of primary sources are available in some cases.

Make an appointment with the archivist to discuss your research needs, have items brought out from the archive, and use archival materials.

Art In The Library

Display cases

Each quarter, examples of program work are displayed in the library.

Recent featured programs include woodcarving from Studio Projects: Tradition and Innovation and illustration from Picturing Plants.

Permanent collection

The library’s permanent art displays include work by faculty, a stained-glass installation, a multilingual quilt-themed mosaic, and the magnificent 1970s-era doors from the college's original art gallery.

Master in Teaching Curriculum Room

We host a collection of teaching tools and reference materials for students in the MiT program. It includes teacher's editions of textbooks as well as innovative tools like puppets and games. It's also a great place to study. You do not need to be in the Master in Teaching program to use these resources! Go to the west end of the third floor to check it out.

Children’s Literature

Also on the third floor we have a room full of children's and young adult books. Evergreen's Children’s Center occasionally displays student projects here as well.

One of the many hidden treasures in the Library’s rare books room.

Rare Book Room

Explore the art of the book with rare and unusual items. Named for the founding Dean of the Library, James F. Holly, this collection is focused around several formats — handmade and small press books, miniature books, and trade books that are both rare and beautiful to look at, touch, and read.

In addition, we collect books with regional content and themes, including Northwest authors, Northwest history, and diverse antiquities donated by people who live in the Northwest region.

The map collection includes globes as well as oversized wall maps and USGS quads for Washington and Oregon.
